Full details
This Oralade Active+ 4 Pack Mixed Flavours is designed for dog owners seeking to enhance their pet's hydration, especially during periods of high activity, travel, or heat. Its key benefit is providing fast, effective rehydration with a palatable taste that encourages drinking. A minor consideration is that once opened, it requires refrigeration and must be used within 4 days. This complementary feed offers a blend of purified water, electrolytes, simple amino acids, glucose, prebiotic FOS, and Vitamin E to support endurance, energy, and recovery, all with natural flavors and no artificial additives.

FAQs
How often can I give my dog Oralade Active+?
Oralade Active+ is a complementary feed. It can be given as needed to support hydration, especially during or after exercise, travel, or hot weather. Consult your veterinarian for specific dietary advice for your dog.
Can I leave an opened bottle out at room temperature?
No, once opened, Oralade Active+ must be refrigerated and used within 4 days. Do not leave it at room temperature for extended periods.
What are the benefits of the isotonic formula?
An isotonic formula allows for rapid absorption of fluids and electrolytes, helping to quickly restore the body's natural balance and rehydrate effectively.
Is Oralade Active+ suitable for all dog breeds and ages?
Oralade Active+ is generally suitable for most dogs. However, if your dog has specific health concerns or dietary restrictions, it's always best to consult with your veterinarian before introducing any new supplement.
How does the L-Carnitine benefit my dog?
L-Carnitine is included to help support muscle energy and vitality, which is particularly beneficial for active dogs undergoing physical exertion.
Can I mix Oralade Active+ with my dog's food?
While it's primarily designed to be drunk on its own to encourage hydration, you could potentially mix a small amount with food if your dog is extremely reluctant to drink, but its effectiveness as a hydration drink might be reduced.
What does 'complementary feed' mean?
A complementary feed provides nutrients to supplement a dog's main diet. It is not intended to be a complete and balanced meal on its own.
